what is your opinion of pendulum divination?

[Beero]

Hi I have a question particularly for those who can get reliable psychic info
What is your opinion of pendulum divination?  Can you get reliable info using this method, or is there a risk of low level astral entities or whatever messing you about?  I've tried it quite a bit but I seem to get inconsistent answers.
Thanks from

The only "low level entity" you risk dealing with here is your own ego.
When used for divination the pendulum isn't controlled by other spirits, it's controlled by your own subconscious. When you're channeling info from "above" (be it your own higher self or guides) this communication comes to you via the subconscious.

Blessings,

So James, do guides/higher self move it with energy, or do they move your hand, and in turn moving it a certain direction?

I've had some awesome experiences with the pendulum.

I don't think it's caused by the subconcious or moving it by accident.  I think the energy surrounding the object makes the pendulum move.  The subconcious is what causes it to move the wrong way sometimes.

Are there any good refinements to the pendulum dowsing technique to make sure you get reliable answers?
I mean without the ego or whatever interfering and giving incorrect answers.
I have been experimenting with dowsing for a while and I usually just try to quieten my mind, and after establishing the signals for yes and no ask the questions.
Is it worth buying a proper pendulum?  I've always just used a cork suspended from thread and that swings well enough.

it doesn't matter at all hardly... or it may just matter a tiny bit if you have an expensive pendulum, or just a cork on a string.  I was at my best and like 100% accuracy with a short pink pen on a string....

I think purchasing a Crystal type is best, Which is far better able to absorb energy than a pen or a cork. (Heh)
